Project Details
The Challenge | Rising Water
Sea levels are rising around the world, and approximately 40% of the human population lives in coastal zones. Your challenge is to help communicate the impacts of rising oceans by creating a visualization tool that illustrates the changes caused by rising sea levels in your region.
Local flood area tracker
Our goal in making this project is to raise awareness of the rising sea levels and simulate the impact it will have on the flooded areas
The project includes graphs depicting the sea level changes and interactive maps displaying the population density of our case study, Istanbul. Additionally, a flood fill algorithm has been implemented to help visualize the areas to be flooded by the rising water levels.
The back-end API was coded using Python and the front-end using Javascript. Libraries such as pandas, numpy, flask were used. The graphs were plotted using the data fetched from NASA and some other open-source databases, moreover the future predictions included in the graphs were coded using linear regression models.
